The Joy Cardin ShowHow To Age With Dignity - America has more seniors today than at any time in history. And as the Baby Boom Generation ages, more than 90 percent of us say we want to grow old in the comfort and dignity of our own homes. Joy Cardin's guest says at the same time, Americans need to place more value on the caregivers whose labor she says will be the key to allowing our parents and grandparents to age with dignity. She says we need a cultural and policy shift to allow the coming elder boom to be a positive experience for our society.
